My 22 year old daughter and I had a wonderful 5+ hour tour with Peter on a beautiful Sunday. This was our first full day of a week in Sydney, and it was the perfect tour, as he showed us the city and how to navigate public transportation. He took us to Manly Beach on a walk with gorgeous vistas. It was the perfect mix of Australian history, learning the city, and exploring one of the beach towns. I highly recommend Peter if you are planning a day tour of Sydney.

The tour of hidden gems was amazing, my guide Ania was very knowledgeable and flexible with our plans. She took me to many spots that. I never would have seen on my own.

We walked around Sydney visiting many sites that I never would have seen on my own. Ania had great knowledge of the city and its history. She was very personable and a lot of fun. The 6 hour tour was the right length to see many sites and take in some of the Australian culture. She also gave me many suggestions for things to do on my own. Overall wonderful experience.
